Sans Faceted Iptu 6 is a regular weight, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Proto Mono' by ATK Studio and 'Archimoto V01' by Owl king project (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, producing octagonal, faceted outlines where curves would normally appear. Strokes are consistently even, with softened outer corners that read as small radius fillets rather than sharp points, giving the geometry a finished, manufactured feel. Letterforms are compact and boxy, with squared bowls and angled terminals, and the rhythm stays highly regular across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The sample text shows steady spacing and a rigid, grid-friendly texture, with clear, simplified counters and minimal stroke modulation.
It suits interface typography, status readouts, and compact labeling where a disciplined, grid-based texture is desirable. It can also work well for sci‑fi or industrial branding, packaging panels, and posters that benefit from a geometric, faceted voice. In longer passages it remains legible, but its strong shape language makes it especially effective for headings, captions, and short technical strings.
The overall tone feels technical and engineered—like labeling on equipment, sci‑fi interfaces, or retro computer and arcade graphics. Its faceted construction and consistent cadence project a pragmatic, no-nonsense voice with a subtle futuristic edge rather than a friendly or expressive one.
The design appears intended to translate a faceted, planed geometry into a practical text style that stays consistent across the character set. By replacing curves with chamfers and keeping stroke behavior uniform, it aims for a robust, system-like aesthetic that reads cleanly in dense, structured layouts.
Distinctive chamfered joints show up throughout (notably in rounded letters like C, O, S, and G), creating a coherent “cut metal” silhouette. Numerals follow the same geometry and remain visually sturdy at text sizes, and punctuation in the sample blends into the same clipped, modular system.
